Modify design of PHP page?: PHP

Modify design of PHP page?

Asked by: MyersA

A group of people developed an auction site for us. We would like to make some changes to the design part of some pages (ie. change colors, move the logo around, etc..). No functionality is involved. It's just what people see when they go to the site.

Is this possible? What tool can I use to do this?
I'm thinking that there should be a tool where I can open the PHP and it will display it graphically so that I can modify it.

I'm a software developer, but I've never worked with PHP.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks for the post.

I downloaded index.php to my Desktop, and tried to open it with DreamWeaver, but it shows up blank.

I did open it with a text editor. I've included the code.

The guys from India can easily change that. They even use the PNG I send them (a Fireworks file) to make the changes.

How are they able to do that? It's just simple design changes. I'm not changing the logic or the way the site operates.

Thanks.
